Anti-TRAF4

TRAF4 (TNF Receptor-Associated Factor 4), also called CART1 or MLN62, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRAF3 gene. TRAF4 is a member of the TNF receptor associated factor (TRAF) family, a family of scaffold proteins. Tomasetto et al. (1995) identified genes that are overexpressed in breast cancer by differential screening of cDNAs from breast cancer-derived metastatic axillary lymph nodes. The TRAF4 cDNA, which they designated MLN62, was mapped to 17q11-q12 by radioisotopic in situ hybridization. To investigate the biologic function of TRAF4, Regnier et al. (2002) generated Traf4-deficient mice by gene disruption.
